Kraft paper bubble bag, also known as kraft paper envelope or air bubble courier bag, is a convenient and efficient packaging material. It is composed of kraft paper and bubble film with the function of waterproof, cushioning, shock-absorbing, self-sealing, etc. Kraft bubble bags are widely used for storing or mailing items such as electronic products, integrated circuit boards, optical lenses, books, certificates, documents, clothes, cosmetics and so on.

What exactly is biodegradable and compostable plastic, and what is the difference between them?

Both biodegradable and compostable plastics can break down or “biodegrade” – which happens when microorganisms digest the building blocks that make up the material – but there are important differences between these two terms.

Biodegradable plastic is defined by its ability to break down completely into substances found in nature, and in a reasonable time frame. This sounds good in theory, but in practice, doesn’t often work.

While compostable plastic also biodegrades, it is specifically designed and tested to be processed in either home or industrial composting facilities. Compositing facilities enable specific conditions like temperature and moisture to turn the plastic into usable soil conditioner.

How do they play a role in helping the environment and reducing plastic waste pollution?

Biodegradable and compostable plastic alone will not solve the plastic pollution crisis. Instead, there are many levers that need to be pulled to reduce and reuse plastic and shift to a circular economy. In fact, we can’t even rely on the assumption that these materials will not cause environmental damage if they end up as litter.

All plastic—including biodegradable and compostable types—must be collected and paired with the right recovery systems, so that the material stays in the loop and out of nature.

However, for specific applications, compostable and biodegradable plastic can play a helpful role in reducing waste. Compostable take-out containers are a great example, since they can compost the remaining food residue alongside the container itself.

Additionally, biodegradable and compostable plastic is often made from biobased sources—like seaweed, sugar beets, or other plants—instead of fossil fuels. In this case, and if sourced responsibly, these materials can offer environmental benefits.

Can I put biodegradable and compostable plastic in my home compost bin?

You can compost some materials at home; others are designed for an industrial facility. If you have a home compost pile, be sure to only put certified “home compostable” materials in it (this should be clearly labeled on the item).

If you have compost pick-up from your home, check your local program’s website to see what they accept. Many commercial composters don’t accept compostable plastic items even if they are certified as compostable.

Finally, compostable and biodegradable plastic can contaminate the recycling stream, so it’s important to check your local recycling guidelines and only recycle items that your program accepts.

In short – does it matter if we use biodegradable or compostable plastic?

The key takeaway is that both compostable and biodegradable plastic should only be used when it adds value, makes sense for the product use, and works with the systems that can recover it. We cannot rely on these materials alone to solve the problem. The companies that produce plastic products and packaging, and the people who use them, must also focus on what we know works: reducing and reusing plastic in the first place.
